Had a blast at @timeblastertoys today in Livonia, MI, even if I don't know who that guy is in that King of The Ring packaging! Never wore gloves, never took a JVC Kaboom Box to the ring! 😂 #VaderTime #Recognize Wanna get the #LoDown on bookings? dlobrown@1168media.com

One of the highlights of my wrestling career was getting to be a part of #ricflair & his last match. Here’s a never before seen backstage clip of #Andrade & Flair getting ready to make their entrance. An inside peek at the gorilla position as well from that night in Nashville

Preach. And everyone who’s saying this generation should be less is more - here’s literally someone saying that.
Jonathan Gresham tells us that he’s not fond of every match having “falsies”. “So this one is probably not going to be a popular opinion. I am not fond of every match having falsies. I’m in locker rooms, I hear young guys, they’re the first match or they’re a dark match on the show and they’re just like, ‘Alright, so for falsies, we’re gonna do—’ and I’m like, ‘Why are there falsies?’ To me, falsies are for main events, title matches, contender matches, big exhibition matches that are like marquee matches for the show or feuds or something like that.”

Accurate.
Took them until late 2022 to recover to an even close level to that, and one could argue even now they've never hit 1998-Mania 2001 levels.

At the end of the day I'm not worried about someone staying anonymous. The internet is 30 years old and there will always be posting behind handles, etc When people report news that aren't anonymous they're called liars anyway so there's no winning either way.
Replying to @DerekSabato
All your points in this thread are very valid. The problem is you are dealing with someone who sounds more like an entitled spoiled brat than someone working towards some benevolent goal while staying anonymous. He should put a name/face on his claims or simply STFU! Just saying.

I swore we went through this about the paycuts? Pro wrestling doesn't announce contract terms. Hell Jeff Jarrett took a pay cut during the hottest time in business and it didn't come out until well after the fact and it was JEFF WHO REVEALED IT. The silence on who took a pay
In which I share my thoughts on the CM Punk rumor - a bit more info on what he allegedly angled for, my thoughts on the Fightful report from @SeanRossSapp, Cody dropping the title to Punk at SS, and a bit more: jcup2013.blogspot.com/2026/0…

it does. Sean can ask 3 sources the same question and they can all deny it even if it's true. You bury the WWE creative and then in the same breathe say him being off TV doesn't pass the sniff test. It doesn't go both ways. Punk is old. He worked A LOT in the run up to Mania.

Your idea to press the WWE and news reporters is valid in one point and then you blow up your own point just lines later. I'm all for more people trying to get in on reporting wrestling, but you gotta have a straight line with your stuff for credibility.
